Programming at River Crossing

Mission Statement

The programming model is to provide the resources and structure to aid the Resident Assistants in growing the housing community to better provide an environment where the community can live, learn, and grow together. Although this model contains requirements and suggested guidelines, this model is based upon the needs of the community, in which case, Resident Assistants must adapt themselves to function depending on the needs of their residents.

Defining Community

A community is a collective group of individuals who live, learn, and grow together within the same environment. Due to communities generally being an accumulation of diverse people from every walk of life, conflict is always a possibility. It is our goal to build a community, which develops by learning from each other’s differences. By building such a community, we can better strengthen not only ourselves, but those around us. One such method of building community it to utilize programs.

Defining Programs

At River Crossing, we strive for educational fun through programming. A program can range anywhere from a large-scale pre-planned event to setting up an informational booth – anything that can benefit your residents! With programming, imagination is your limit.

There are two different categories that your brilliant ideas may fall into: Required Programming Medium (RPM) and Voluntary Programming Medium (VPM).

Discussions on depression, confidence, how you appear to others, self-bettering tips, and personality.

Safety and Security

Discussions on monsters under the bed, avoiding dark alleys, how to become a kung-fu master, seriously all this is covered under sexual awareness, the do’s and don’ts of appliances, and a locked door is a safe door.
